Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Plugins not showing after being uploadedI have a similar problem except it’s related to the upgraded versions of plugins and it’s infuriating.
1. I make sure the plugin is deactivated.
2. I delete the old plugin directory (I’ve even tried renaming it)
3. I upload the new versionWhen I check the plugins directory it still shows the old version!
I’ve looked in the WP plugins directory to check that the new version is there (it is).
When I check the plugin via the <Edit> option in WP, it shows the OLD version even though it no longer exists on the server.
What gives? Is WP caching the file somewhere (I’ve even tried to clearing the cache in Firefox)?
This is an ongoing problem with virtually every plugin I try to update.
BTW, I’m running WP 2.6.2

In reply to: Strange characters in past posts wth  and ’I had the same problem when I upgraded to 2.6.1, not with every post though. I think it has something to do with the way WP interprets the various ‘flavours’ of printer’s quotes, em/en spaces etc that end up embedded in the texts.
The only way to correct it is to edit every instance.

In reply to: Editing Bug in 2.6.2 when trying to align images?Hi,
Okay thanks, I’ll try it but even so the code I posted is generated by WP not me, so it still points to some kind of bug in the WP editor?And, as I mentioned, the alignment is correct in the editor.

In reply to: Editing Bug in 2.6.2 when trying to align images?Okay, the only way I can put a space between the title and the image is to insert a <p> at the end of the title! But surely there should be a way of doing this without putting code into the title?

In reply to: Updated to 2.6.2 but it doesn’t showYes, I’ve done several times it’s just finicky as I have to make sure I don’t wipe out the plugins, themes etc.
I have managed to use the automatic process before without a problem though.
Okay, thanks

In reply to: Updated to 2.6.2 but it doesn’t showWell this is what I get when I start the ftp process:
Warning: ftp_site() [function.ftp-site]: /public_html: No such file or directory. in /www/business/5382/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/wpau_prelimcheck.class.php on line 185

But then below that it says:
Great all done WPAU is ready to roll. Click here so that we can start the upgrade.
Then it successfully backs up the DB and informs me that:
Get or upload the latest version of WordPress
So I click on “Let’s Go”
OK
We succesfully completed the task which, Downloads / Uploads the latest files for wordpress.
Next Task -> Puts the site into maintenance mode
Please CLICK HERE to go to the next task.
But now I’m getting:
Warning: copy(/www/business/5382/index.php) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /www/business/5382/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/wpau_upgrade.class.php on line 361
I’ve already had the host change permissions on this directory. Infuriating

In reply to: Upgraded to 2.3.2 but WP says notOkay, will do (tho I normally just upload and overwrite and it’s worked in the past.
One question, all the files in my site have a duplicate with the extension .LCK appended. Should I delete these as well?
